Analysis · FSM · Energy & Transportation
Fortuna Mining's Feasibility Study for its Diamba Sud Gold Project in Senegal confirms strong economic viability, with an after-tax NPV of $1 billion and an IRR of 60% at $3,500/oz gold. This project is a cornerstone of the company's strategy to increase annual gold production by 60% to over 500,000 ounces by 2028. The initial capital expenditure of $397.5 million is substantial, but the company has secured funding. The completion of this study, following environmental approval, significantly de-risks the project and moves it closer to a final investment decision, pending the mining permit.
